  1. Canada Small Business Financing Program: This program is administered through your bank and provides financing for qualified businesses.

It was a privilege to be asked to speak at the SiteLink Forum in the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87/Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada in September.


I spoke to an international audience about what "Opportunity Alberta" offers entrepreneurs who wish to locate in Alberta. The Takeaway from the event is "Alberta is THRIVING" and your chance to participate in this robust economy is being made easier through the support of several organizations that offer training, support, and even financing opportunities for entrepreneurs like yourself.

 

News Flash:


Immigrant entrepreneurs from outside of Canada can apply for permanent residency through the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP).


This program offers incredible support to those wanting to start or purchase a business in rural Alberta.

 


Many people have asked me about "passive income" businesses. Something that does not require them to give up their day jobs, but have something on the side that provides a better-than-average return.


How about owning and managing your own DJ company and being part of the party?





As "reputation is everything" in this business, contact me to receive a non-disclosure agreement and to be interviewed by the current owner.

 

2024 Milestones:


Thanks to you calling on my support, I have achieved exceptional status in Commercial Real Estate in Alberta. My goal is to continue to offer resources and assistance to ensure your dreams of business ownership are fulfilling and rewarding.


By putting together this quarterly newsletter it is my hope that you turn to the expert advice our team at findbusinesses4sale.com can provide you in Alberta and across Canada.






With Kind Regards,
